constipated... again

today, my email wasn't working right. couldn't send out emails from my account. haven't touched any email settings either. with my online store, emails are bloody important. so, naturally, i emailed the host for advice. well, how friendly. i was informed that, out of their 5000 clients, i was the only one complaining of such an error, and they couldn't find anything wrong. ok, so now i know that they have 5000 clients. and i know they couldn't find anything wrong. so do i know how to fix the problem? no. no suggestions offered, no nothing. grreattt...

constipated

today this very anal hdb guy came to inspect our apartment for "any unauthoried renovations" done. we've sold it and am moving to our beautiful new place, hopefully sometime around april. but before any sales can be finalised, our place has to be inspected for anything "illegal". yeah, whatever.

so he came late. at first, they actually had the nerve to give us the appointment time as "sometime between 10am to 2pm". then after some insistence, the time was fixed at 10.30am. he arrived 1 hour late. went straight to the windows, and asked if it was authorised. well duh. then he asked for any form of proof. ok, here's the deal. the windows were changed more than 10 years ago, and any receipts or whatever documents would have been gone? the authorisation is done by hdb. so it makes obvious sense that they would be the ones keeping the record. and it makes obvious sense for them to look for all proper and relevant paperwork before asking such a duh question. he left less than 5 minutes later, after instructing us to dig up whatever records that we keep and to call up that contractor who did our windows. and if found to be "unauthorised" all the windows will have to be removed and fixed with one that's "authorised", at our own cost. and he will come back again when any documents have been found. so no approval from the inspection. heck, he left without even inspecting any other parts of the apartment.

so amazing.

shan my happy customer

"... its in one of my favourite colour, I think that the flamingo design is hot .... most importantly its comfy!"

shan | singapore | 21st jan 2005

here's shan posing prettily in her favorite tee! (this she told me herself very truthfully and sincerely) incidentally also my forestprints flamingo design :-D she had bought 2 from me, this and the toadies big flower design (also one of her favorites if i might add) *hugz for her!*

so you can tell that i don't really care much if people think that this is shameless self-promotion (so i've heard :-p), because it is self-promotion, you have a right to think that it's shameless, and most importantly, it is not made-up. so there :-)

ooohhh have i told you how much i love my babies?? just looking at them makes me wanna make funny cute noises!! awwww... uuhhhhh....hummpphh... haha!

they're to be sold exclusively at www.pixelgirlpresents.com so they won't be made available on my own online shop at www.forestprints.com.

however, having said that, they will be appearing at inqbox at far east plaza by this sunday when i go there to restock my items.

And if my eyes don't go crazy and time permits, they may be appearing at the NUS Bazaar (engineering faculty) from this coming Monday 24th Jan til Wednesday 26th Jan from 9am to 5pm. singaporeans, nus students, people who will be going to the nus for whatever reason, please drop by my stall!! all forestprints items that are being sold there will be at special discounted prices! (because i know how poor college students can get sometimes haha)

guys guys guys (the majority of the engineering faculty i guess??) come get some cute little things for your girls! my hot favorite forest tee design, the flamingo, will be sold there with sizes for both you and your partner! i'll be only bringing a few pieces in selected colors (tees in bulk are heavy!...) so don't miss this opportunity :-D

i'll be sharing the stall with a friend who's selling handmade jewellery and cute little valentine cards, which means you can get your whole "package" valentine's day gift deal right at our stall! hee.. so seeee ya!

more praises

"... I got to know this website from a friend, she told me forestprints.com has unique limited edition items that are reasonably priced too. I decided to check it out and especially liked their colourful tees. The designs and theme of the tee shirts are great! Their prints are nicely varied,some of which are loud and cheery. So here I am wearing my favourite design in my favourite green colour tee. It is always in the washing machine since I wear it every week without fail :-) ..."

my tv shows

i need cable tv...! free tv is alot of repeats, repeats and more stinking lousy repeats... i'd love it if the repeats were repeats of good stuff! but sadly, they are all repeats of very bad entertainment... this situation has made me welcome this year with such workoholism, it's kinda pathetic... i no longer force myself to stop and take a break for just abit to catch anything on tv anymore... i just go on forever and then fall onto bed... i miss my 500+ cable channels in chicago!

obscene

just got an email from a forestprints customer, telling us how much she appreciated our service and liked the forest paradise freedom tee she had bought! she was also very kind to send in a photo of her wearing the tee, which brings me to the problem... i'm not sure if i should have it published on the website, even though she seemed very enthusiastic about seeing it there... lets just say it's not the most well-taken and thoughtfully posed photo...?! no offence taken whatsoever i hope... haha it's actually kinda funny, but i'm not sure if others will see the humor in it though... :-p

wholesale

so i have been busy trying to do calculations and get the wholesale thingie for forestprints products up and going, it only seems to make sense to me since i don't own an actual shop, and the consignment thingie seems to be a test for patience for impatient and anxious me.

forestprints happy customer

ooohhh someone's wearing our fabulous yellow-colored forest toadies logo tee! these are 2 photos that were emailed to us from a happy happy forestprints customer :-)

" ... I made my first order within minutes of browsing ... It's really cool to walk around town flaunting my new tee... attracted people not with my looks but with what i'm wearing!... "

forestprints.com revamped!!

finally after countless tiring nights of working on the site with b, our newly revamped site is up for 2005! apprently from the feedback given, many people out there, especially the ladies, aren't so crazy about green (so sad!), which is actually one of my favorite colors, hence forest... duh haha but i guess everything looks more complete and definitely brighter now :-)

new year's eve night 2004-2005

so we, me + b + steven + fai + hazel, fai's girl, had a steamboat buffet dinner at marriott hotel, it was a pretty good spread and we all had too much to eat! then we headed down to dbl0 for new year's eve, i wanted zouk but i was the only one who wanted zouk, and it was too late to gain entry there anyways since we were done with our steamboat buffet dinner quite late, so that was that, but hey, if you're happy and the company is good, who really cares about the place ya, so long as it's not some dumpster.. haha. but not forgetting to mention... we took 1 hour waiting for a bloody cab! omg...

so here's just a few of the many shots we had that night, b & i were so badly hung over the next day because we didn't prepare ourselves for the drinks, and also because we were both tired out from work and i was still not fully recovered from my phlegmy cough. so we spent the whole of new year's day slumped on my sofa sleeping! and i had to "freshen" my little mushroom brooch, which i had on my top that night and had a strong stench of stale ciggarettes and alcohol.. eewww heee... but it's all nice smelling and clean now
